Dont think we are in Seattle anymore

Shadowrun/ Dark Heresy crossover

The Acolytes continued the planning to rescue the Bleak Memory. During this, they were attacked by two warp specters one of whom disappeared in a time warp and by the power of Jarvis, Tavares defeated the specters.

The Acolytes stand on a ledge on the middle level of a three level gallery. Along the ledge further ahead is a bunch of orks, pushing and shoving to get through a huge strange star-shaped grating. Above them, the gallery is corroded and old only a few man sized pipes and tubes jut out from under the ceiling all heavily rotted.

The acolytes engaged the horde at the grating and a long battle ensues but finally the last two orks lie scattered on the floor or drifting slowly around in space.

On the bottom level, orks are frantically sealing a huge, heavy door and fleeing from it. The acolytes notice a thumping as of heavy steps, and the door starts to glow red, and finally melts away.

The acolytes finds the best cover they can, as behind the door the looming shape of a dreadnought appears. The dreadnought lumbers through the lower gallery in pursue of the orks.

The acolytes climb up to a pipe in the upper gallery and sees a room at the end of the pipe where a corpse slowly rotates in the airless void. Hoax feels the presence of three warp entities but nothing is shown, and Kainen locates an area with heavy radiation close to the corpse. Kainen also notices that there is some power in the instrumentation on the wall. The corpse seems to be of a recent date and carries the uniform of the Imperial Navy.

The pipe continues ahead and reveals another room where many of the electronics and screens on the walls have power and and the artificial gravity is active.

The screens shows other parts of the hulk, notably a dais where a figure clad in power armour slay orks en masse with chainsword, hammer and the name of the Emperor.

The psyker is increasingly worried as the three ghosts follow him and are joined by two others.

A strange glow emits from further along the pipe where there is evidence of yet another room.
Just out of the room lies the severely reduced remains of an archmilitant; practically only the uniform and two ancient bolt guns remain. Tavares takes the bolter shot and James loots the guns.

The room is an odd spectacle. Here a huge stasis bubble preserves a frozen dramatic scene where a Commissar stands, pointing a gun at a ships Captain who lies prone on the floor. All but ignoring this spectacle, the acolytes spot a hallway from which combat is audible and push towards it.

The hallway ends in a gallery at the center of which, a dais is the current strong point for where a space marine fights a seemingly overwhelming tide of orcs.

The acolytes assist the marine in killing the last orks and the marine presents himself as Brother Marine Lothar Odd of the Salamanders.

Hextor spot Sel Lekant in the railway station having a meeting with an fellow in an strange armor.

Hextor sets up a meeting with Sel Lekat at an inn with very few customers, and also sets up base in a abandoned house close to the inns. By luck and persuasion Hextor acquires the local Tech priests to fix the house.

James and kainen meet with Hextor,
James wanders off and informs Rothbone about Sel Lekant. she tells him that he must not die, but his faked death maybe an advantage.

Tavares locates a means of communication between St Martin and Sol Invictus. After this he returns to Sol Invictus and sets up the communication link in a room near the station.

An attempt to create a magnetic device turns into a blackout for Hextor and a part of the mining town.

The Demon slayers return to Sol Invictus, and are not eager to report their findings in the tunnels to anyone.

However they seek Mester Attilas, the old missionary and head of the Ecclesiarchy of Sol Invictus, and report their findings, and asks for the Inquisitor. Attilas tells that the Inquisitor is still in the tunnels and the old priest is concerned of the souls of the acolytes and orders them to undergo a pieous cleansing, to which the Acolytes reluctantly aggrees.

The first cleansing goes with out any event but during the following marathon prayer and meditation, James falls asleep.

Through this acute danger to his soul, the priest resorts to a harsher purification. This ends in disaster when the action is interpreted as an attack by James. After a lengthy fight the priests overcomes the guardsman and puts him into a meditation box.

After the others end their meditation, they are presented with news that a member of the cadre is lost. The Arbitrator speaks the case of the guardsman and after a discussion Mester Attilas agress to set James Mitchell free if The Psyker cannot find any taint on him and that the holy weapon does not reject him.

James are approved by both means and let out, however Mester Attilas charges the Arbitrator with the care of the guardsman.

James and Kainen spends some days in hospital while the others hunt for equipment. After recovering James reports their findings to Mester Arl and recieves an tinfoil scroll, and a bill of exchange for 5000 thrones for a job well done. He recommends that the note is exchanged in the malfian subsector, and thanks James for the effort.

As Kainen doesn’t recognise the construction pattern, the road vehicle stops and a huge man exits, Mr Tong, an old fellow runner from Seattle.

A heated discussion ensues since all are still edgy after the demon encounter. The Seattle chummers stand against the edged prejudices of the Imperium and the arm of the law.

After the tempers have cooled down a bit Mr Tong informs the acolytes of problems at the St Martin end with the ore trains and the acolytes decide to go back to Sol invictus so that the ore trains can be restarted.

After the Mekboy encounter, the Acolyte decides that it is better to retire and report to the Inquisitor.

After receiving a meal, some sleep and some medical attention, the acolytes are dispatched further along the trail.

At some point the train stops at a derelict track, the techpriest is shocked to find the walls weeping blood.

After some debate the Acolytes investigate the track, further in they see a pressure door of a design that most of the group recognise from the Relay station.

As the Acolytes approaches the door begins to open. The revelation of the bloodletter is a terrible sight for the party and only quick thinking from the guardsman makes him take the psycannon currently held by Tavares Paulson III and shoot the deamon successfully. The deamon disappears as it attacks the shooter.

The Acolytes ploughs through the ork lair with autogun and bolterfire. Squig, snotlings and ork bits all over the place. Nothing dangerous happens except when a guard throws a grenade into a lake of heavy petrochemical.

After wandering murdering through the lair for a bit, the team encounters the mek boys and their assistants and bring the fight to them.

After reporting to Lady Rothbone in Sol Invictus, the party returns to the site of the statue, reinforced with a new compliment of guards and an Arbitrator. When Lady Rathbone decides to investigate further, the party are directed to continue on their mission.

They walk through several sunken streets void of any life, until signs of salvaging of iron is discovered. The tracks made by what ever that have salvaged the iron are followed and signs of orcs are found.

The party splits up and the six guards, Hextor Pay and Kainen Bodewig follows the Map of Going Forth and ends on a improvised bridge above a melting facility ready to rain destruction and murder down on the smoke covered xenos where as James Mitchell, Tavares Paulson III and the arbitrator follows a compass direction and braces them selves for combat in a tunnel as they can hear bouncing and other odd sounds approaching.

After the run-in with the fanatics, the party tally their loses which totals one Psyker, three guards and a tracker/orc hunter.

They decide to explore the point of entry for the fanatics. After several hours of walking, the party have a small encounter with three people that wear the same cloak as the fanatics.

After the fight a fourth member of the cultist are found to have been sacrificed by way of disembowelment. This is taken rather badly by some members of the team.

The party continues along the tunnels and finds a sunken hanger with aircraft. After picking a direction more or less at random, the party continues to the end of the hanger where a cockpit has been converted into a door, through which the party spots a faint light.

The party enters the large room beyond and approaches the light source. They discover a large statue with a covered face. From the cowl they spot seven glowing “eyes”. In front of the statue in a pit of sorts stands a man before a small alter. The party spots the “cultist” and decides that this is cult is evil and shoots. Death is instantaneous and beyond question. As a final act the priest offers his soul to the the many-eyed-one; his soul leaves his body and enters the statue. This is a very disturbing sight that shakes the acolytes to their cores.

As the only member of the three that is at the location of the statue, James manages to retain some control (after fleeing uncontrollably for several minutes).

The team returns to the station as a wreck. Two are incapacitated by fear and one is barely hanging on. After a debate and various forms of damage control the acolytes return to Sol Invictus.
